Shampoo system just bought the vaccum last night and could not get the shampoo system to pick up the water and could not get the system back on and both belts snapped so im pretty frustrated

I have a kirby sentria vaccum carpet shampoo system and I cannot get the shampoo suction head to work! It comes on but the belt is not turning. I have tried taking it off and looking at the assembly but no luck. And I have tried turning the belt engage lever to off and on to see if it makes any diference.

I had the same problem at first but figured it out. Make sure before you put it on the vacuum itself, that the shampooing unit is completely together. The belt needs to be taunt like it would be when the brush is turning. Once you put it on and turn ...

Belts breaking/melting The original belt broke at almost 1 year so I replaced it. I changed the carpet setting to shag even though my carpet is very low pile to make it easier on the vacuum. I didn't get to use it but just a couple minutes and could already start smelling the new belt getting hot. I checked the roller and it is easy to spin. Not clogged with hair or dirt. Now the inside of the new belt has small pieces of rolled rubber instead of being smooth. The metal shaft that goes into the

The brush is not moving on the vaccume. I'm pretty sure that the belt is busted. I cannot see how to get the shroud off, so that I can get to the roller and belt. It all looks and feels like one piece, even when I start removing screws. It is a bag-less vac. The model number is - v1310rs. Thank you.

Is there a diagram/picture to help me visualize how to put cleaner belt back in vacuum? I was taking base of vacuum apart so I could get rid of hair that were wrapped on the roller. The cleaner belt came to loose and I could not figure how to fix it back.
the model is eureka upright bagless series 430

Need a cheaper alternative shampoo for kirby vacuum system. Has to be an encapsulating shampoo. Kirby shampoo is too dear and only does one room per bottle. Need to know where to get some in australia as the postage from america is 3 times the price of the shampoo. thanks

Look up your local janitoral supply companies in the yellow pages. Encapsulation shampoo should be readily available in AU. \015\012\015\012Here is a list of websites to check out: \015\012\015\012 ...

Belt replacement i am trying to replace the belt on my kirby g4 and i can not get the rooler off to replace the belt. if you could tell me how to do this it would be great.

Lift the light bulb housing up and you will find a latch that will rotate to release the front agitator housing and remove it from the machine. On the bottom of that housing, there are two latches that secure the bottom plate that covers the roller. ...

No spray My Bissell Pro Heat 7901 will not put out any spray. I Took the pump out so I could get at it and disconnected the hoses. I put the one on the input side and the other in a bottle of water. Put the belt on the pump and turned on the machine .Nothing at all coming out of the pump. Where can I get a new pump? Also the lever that goes to the little flapper at the top under the clear plastic piece on the front that connects to the knob that changes from tools to floor broke off. Where can I

My brush is no longer working on my bissell healthy home vac. when i try to turn it on it makes a high pitched squealing sound. I'm pretty sure it needs a new belt but my husband is having trouble getting the vac. apart. He says you need a special tool to get the screws out of the bottom of the vac. Any advice? THANK YOU!

My nearly new Miele S710 vaccum cleaner just revs like mad when you switch it in but you get no suction. Could there be a drive belt between the electric motor and the vaccum pump that has come off or broken? How can I get at it, if this is the case?

Hi,\015\012\015\012Yes this could be a case due to which there is no suction. I am posting an article which gives you a detailed description of how to open it and repair the internal parts.\015\012\015\012 ...

Vax 2300 vax v-2300 brush is not turning so changed belt snapped as soon as i put hoover on and getting burning smell put another belt on same again and brushes still not moving only 4 months old

If the roller brush cannot be rotated easily by hand, it is likely that debris is jammed inside the end caps.Make note of the direction arrows on the end caps as you remove the roller brush. You will need to know this for reinstallation. The end caps ...

Roller brush does not rotate if there is a belt I can't open that part of the vacuum to look. Vacuum is new but I vacuumed a string that caused the brush to stall for a moment. I could smell like when a belt gets hot or burns it's a surfacemax 300.

Hoover windtunnel motor is running rough and overheating, even after clearing the hoses and removing the belts. Could there be something jammed in the blower? How do I get in there to clean it out?

Bissell proheat 2X, model 8960. The shampoo tank does not seem to work, all I get is the water when cleaning. Also the first time I used my shampoer one of the belts broke. This is the 2nd cleaner I have bought. Was hoping this one would last longer. Cleaning this model is a real pain, surely there is a better why.

My Bissell cleanview is NOT suctioning well, all filters, nozzles, attachements, canisters and belts are clean and in good repair. We've pretty much made sure everything that I can get to without completely dismantling the vacuum is super clean and/or new... still poor suction

Cleaned the brush but could not get the central belt to hook back on by following manual directions

FLIP THE BRUSH (RUG RENOVATOR) OVER AND REMOVE THE SCREWS ON THE SILVER GUARD THAT KEEPS THE ROLLER IN PLACE. SLIDE THE ROLLER UP OUT OF THE SLOT, TAKING NOTE ON THE HALF MOON SHAPED SIDE. REMOVE THE OLD BELT(OR WHAT'S LEFT OF IT). PLACE THE BELT ARO ...

Dyson dc07 The rotating brush on the bottom of my vacuum was filled with strings. I removed the brush by undoing all yellow plastic screws from plate. Removed all strings and replaced as best I could and it was hard to get the brush back in and the belt around it. I dont have my manual but it fits so it should be correct....? Right? No, not true, because when I turn it on and try to and vacuum (by lower canister with foot release) it makes that terrible ratching sound). Please help

The loud ratching is a warning to tell you that there is something stopping the roller bar from rotating this is a very common thing lay the machine on the floor front side down take off the bottom plate and just check the belt is in the centre of th ...

My Bissel Proheat smartmix bottle is emptying really fast and it doesn't seem like the carpet is even getting wet. I am just trying to do a rug in the kitchen and have filled the smartmix bottle 3x now and the rug is barely wet yet. I have cleaned out the flow indicator filter and it does not spin when I push the button like it used to. I have also checked the belt and it seems fine. It is actually a Bissel Proheat 7901/8910 (Pet) but they could not find my product. Any suggestions, I am
